Get Ready & Prepare
Disasters Happen - Be Prepared
Your actions and emergency preparedness will help you and your family stay safe and be ready for the next disaster. Understand disaster risks in your region and develop a plan to stay safe, have an emergency kit, and receive information as events unfold.
Know Your Zone
Know Your Zone is a public awareness campaign to help communities identify their Evacuation Zones and prepare before an emergency. Zones are labeled with three letters (for the geographic area) and three numbers (for the specific zone). Evacuation warnings and repopulation notices—issued by fire or law enforcement—use these zone codes instead of landmarks or road names. To find your Zone, please visit Genasys Protect, enter your address, and save your Zone Number. You can also download the Genasys Protect App to receive real-time updates based on your location. Knowing your zone ahead of time allows you to act quickly when an evacuation order is issued. Be prepared - view our Evacuation Guide or Prepare Your Animals to learn more.
